法華玄論 1.79

1.79

答：照一乘為實慧，鑑三乘為權。華嚴教門但明一乘，故唯有慧。就一乘中自開二慧，或約動靜雙用、或就空有二行，亦得具二慧也。七者《華嚴》是舍那迹本身說，《法華》是釋迦本迹身說也。八者《華嚴》加諸菩薩說，《法華》如來自說。九者《華嚴》但對菩薩說，《法華》雜對二乘菩薩說。十者《華嚴》竪論一乘，開五十二位；法華橫論一乘，不開階級。

Answer: Illuminating the one vehicle is real wisdom; discerning the three vehicles is provisional [wisdom]. The doctrinal gateway of the Avataṃsaka only clarifies the one vehicle; therefore, it has only [real] wisdom. If within the one vehicle itself the two wisdoms are opened—either in terms of using both movement and stillness, or in terms of the two practices of emptiness and existence—it can also be said to possess both wisdoms. Seventh, the Avataṃsaka is spoken by the original body of Rocana's trace; the Lotus Sūtra is spoken by the trace body of Śākyamuni's origin. Eighth, the Avataṃsaka is spoken through the inspiration of the bodhisattvas; the Lotus Sūtra is spoken by the Tathāgata himself. Ninth, the Avataṃsaka is spoken only to bodhisattvas; the Lotus Sūtra is spoken to a mixed assembly of both the two vehicles and bodhisattvas. Tenth, the Avataṃsaka discusses the one vehicle vertically, unfolding fifty-two stages; the Lotus Sūtra discusses the one vehicle horizontally, not unfolding graduated ranks.
